The Bombardment of Bristol, Rhode Island

The Bombardment of Bristol, Rhode Island

by Sam Hinton

From the 1999 album Library of Congress Recordings, March 25, 1947.

"This ballad tells the story of the first bombardment of Bristol, Rhode Island by the British on October 7, 1775, during the American Revolution."

The sound player embed offered by the Library of Congress keeps failing, so if you want to hear a version of this song, you'll have to go to their site.
